Can someone please help me, it all started yesterday when my internet completely gave up on me, i couldn't do anything so i tried to fix it(I don't know much) but I couldn't fix it. Then i checked my Firewall and everything was turned off and i was locked out of my options. I immediatly thought virus and scanned my computer with nortan system works. A few adware programs popped up so i deleted what i could and set out to delete the others. After i reseted my computer i found i could no longer log into my computer(windows xp) so i decided to format it and get it over with ^^. Well after formating and installing all the drivers and windows updates, i seem to still have problems. My browser is slow... and every once in awhile the internet seems to stop... i can usually fix it by restarting my computer(i never tried to see how long it lasts) and im afraid that this may be some sort of former virus... and that it will only get worse before it gets better. Today my brother had somewhat the same symptoms i had and i think it may have got down to his computar(we are connected through lan). I tried to look up my virus on the internet but without a name, my search didn't lead very far. So i decided to sign up for this forum and post my problem hoping that someone could help me before my problem got worse =/...... and iff i can help anyone else with this problem... (Ps. A program called lajfoolzc keeps popping up everytime i try to shutdown im not sure iff this is a windows prog or something else, I didn't download much since i formated just putting this here incase it helps)
